<p>Looking to take our yearly trip to Toronto next summer and I’m wondering if it’s worthwhile to stay at the hotel inside the park. We like to stay as close to the ballpark as possible because we like to walk around to the bars and restaurants near where we stay. I know there are other hotels close by but how often do you get to sleep in a ballpark right? Lol. Has anybody stayed there that has some info? </p>

<p>I know you've all seen S Preston's minimalist art, as I believe he joined the annual chaser outing this year. Here's a cool quiz in LA Times today, showing his work. I got 28/30 in the hard category... How many can you get?</p>

<p>We are thinking of slipping over to Texas to see the Rangers this August before they change parks in 2020. Any suggestions re: lodging? We like to stay close to the ballpark so we can either walk or mass transit to a game.</p>

<p>Alright, I'm gonna sound like the guy who yells at kids to get off my lawn (and I'm only 34), but here goes.</p>
<p>Last night, I went to see my hometown Tigers take on the Indians. It was a great game. Good defensive plays, good pitching, and capped off by a Candelario walk off in the 12th inning. Comerica Park continues to be one of the better ballparks in my opinion, as there really isn't a bad seat in the house and it's right in the heart of downtown Detroit. So no complaints…</p>

<p>But, at different times during the game, they had.... cheerleaders, I guess I'd call them?.... tossing T-shirts into the crowd, giving away lottery scratch off tickets, etc. To me, this is one thing that made the NBA experience worse in recent years, the whole sideshow. I don't remember this happening at Comerica Park before. Is this being done in other stadiums now too? I feel like it cheapens the experience. </p> Dodger Stadium and Anaheim Angels gamestag:www.ballparkchasers.com,2018-05-30:1681163:Topic:2540742018-05-30T20:54:16.301ZLeslie20http://www.ballparkchasers.com/profile/Leslie
<p>We'll be going to games in LA, Anaheim and San Diego this summer. While in LA, we are renting a car and staying in Anaheim. Is there an easy way to get to Dodger Stadium by train, vs having to drive?</p>

<p>Miller Park</p>
<p>Guaranteed Rate Field</p>
<p>Progressive Field</p>
<p>Rogers Center</p>
<p>Comerica Park</p>
<p>Great American Ball Park</p>

<p>Camden Yards</p>
<p></p>
<p>I booked hotels before finding this site, but all of our hotels are within a mile of the ballparks, except PNC Park (staying with family) and Miller Park (about 8 miles away). I am waiting on tickets until a little closer to the trip (7/31-8/14) but if anyone has any suggestions for best places to sit, especially with a kid I'd greatly appreciate that. Also, any suggestions for kid friendly things to do around any of the stadiums would be great. </p>
<p>I never intended for the trip to cover so many stadiums but as I would look at each teams schedule and it just worked out that they were home I couldn't pass up going. After this trip we have set a goal to get to all 30 before he graduates from high school. </p>
<p>I love this site and have already gotten so many tips/tricks from reading other posts. Thanks to anyone who can give some feedback and happy chasing to all of you. </p>

<p></p> Fenway vs. Wrigleytag:www.ballparkchasers.com,2018-05-14:1681163:Topic:2526902018-05-14T22:22:35.945ZRyan Cole Brewerhttp://www.ballparkchasers.com/profile/RyanColeBrewer
<p>So last year I hit Fenway Park and this past weekend I went and saw the Cubs in Wrigley. I'm trying to judge only based on the stadiums themselves but my vote for best park (out of those two classics) is Fenway. I'm not sure if there was one thing I liked better at Wrigley over Fenway. I'm not trying to start a beef here and I grew up watching the Cubs so I'm a fan but I just want to hear what others think about the two if you've been to both.</p>
